The Holidays are officially over.

I finally finished my boyfriend's slippers. They turned out good, he says that they are comfortable! So that's a good sign. My next knitting adventure, is a knit wristband for my friend Tommy from work. We all picked secret santas at work, and I picked Tommy's name. The work Christmas party is tomorrow night. So I am knitting him a gray wristband and I will sew "guns" in black yarn on it b/c his nickname is Tommy Guns. He plays in a band, so hopefully it will have this punk rock look to it.

Some girls from work and I are starting our own Stitch n' Bitch! I think tonight we are having our first official meeting. I have to make a few calls to the girls to make sure they are coming! I am so excited! I think we will have meetings every Tuesday night and work on projects together! More on that later.

I was in Barnes and Noble, one of my favorite stores, and I got lost in the knitting books! There were so many good knitting books that I wanted to buy! But I must stay away because I have spent so much money recently on yarn! I have to start budgeting. So instead I bought "The Diary of Marie Antoinette" which I started reading earlier this afternoon. I told my boyfriend that I haven't been reading as much because I have been knitting more, but if I get audiobooks then I can get my knitting done as well as my literature!

New years resolutions
1. work out and lose ten pounds! (everyone wants to lose weight)
2. keep the job hunt going
3. read more books
4. knit of course!

Happy Holidays

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I just relaxed with friends and family, it was nice. I finally finished one of the slippers for my boyfriend and I will add a photo of it as soon as I get a photo. I am a little less than halfway done with the second slipper. I am so exhausted because I worked all night and I have to get up early and open.

Tonight I have tickets to see the Chihuly show at the Botanical Gardens! I can't wait - I have been waiting for this all year. I will post photos of the show as soon as I can.

In knitting news, I am finally getting close to finishing the first slipper! If anyone wants to join in a knitalong, I got this pattern from Bev's Country Cottage.

I am looking for a hello kitty doll knitting pattern without knitting in the round. If anyone has a pattern or knows where I could find it, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
